OpenPlant

The OpenPlant Forum is an event designed to bring together a range of stakeholders to explore themes in plant synthetic biology and related areas. The broad theme of this year’s meeting is "Engineering for bioproduction in plants”. Join us for an international line-up covering some of the latest advances in gene and pathway discovery, chassis design, engineering of regulatory networks and world-leading examples of application of these technologies for bioproduction.

Theo Murphy scientific meeting organised by Dr Dominique Chu, Professor Christian Ray and Professor Mikhail Prokopenko. Over recent years it has become clear in various sciences that many natural systems perform computations. Research into the properties of these natural computers remains fragmented along disciplinary boundaries between computer science, physics, engineering and biology. The objective of this meeting is to overcome the fragmentation by bringing together researchers from different fields to discuss their latest finding on natural computation.

The OpenPlant Fund supports innovative, open and interdisciplinary projects relevant to plant synthetic biology and cell-free systems. The latest call for applications closed recently, and all applicants will be pitching their project proposals at an event on Friday 1 December. Come along to hear a variety of interesting and innovative short talks about projects in biology, instrumentation, training and building low-cost resources for schools in Ghana.

OpenPlant Forum is an annual open meeting for plant synthetic biology organised by the OpenPlant partners: University of Cambridge, John Innes Centre and the Earlham Institute. Attendees from other organisations are welcome.
